Not sure what it is called in English but after a small mix up at the vegetable stall I ended up with this (had asked for beetroot greens). I was so struck by the beauty of it that I decided to take it home with me.
So thought/challenge of the day, find something of beauty in a place you don't normally expect to find it.

Thanks! I guess I have had it then, in the states but never saw it in it's full form!
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely challenge indeed. I spent my weekend paying attention to where I could find the beauty of light, at least in part, in less than usual places. I love any ways we can stop, slow down, and pay a bit more attention to life.
ReplyDeleteHi, this is a turnip and I used it to make the local winter soup 'Minestra' that also includes potatoes, zucchini, pumpkin, carrots, onions, cabbage, cauliflower and also barley. There are alot of versions of this minestra. I might actually do a post about it soon and also make it at home now that the colder days are sort of kicking in :)
ReplyDeleteDina, Funny I just finished making minestra (yes with everything you listed plus karfusa) !! Perfect for this stormy night.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! I love vegetables that taste of the earth, and this looks as if it might!
ReplyDeleteWonderful challenge, btw...I'll have to think on it.
I love your new profile photo. Not that you could take a bad picture ;)
i put lentils or bartoli or dried broad beans in my minestra plus the above mentioned veg... sometimes i put mung beans too or the four all together... it does come rather thick tough but extremely tasty!:) The other day I even added an aubergine... A proper hallata ballata!
